Description Summer's over, now what?
Lyrics
Summer Song
She's been stepping on the pavement cracks down her street
Wondering why the summer's late again
Watching friendships drift away
Thinking of her better days
She's no idea how things ever got to be this way

Well time moves on, past her by
Leave her feeling all alone
High and dry
Walking 'round he same old spaces
Looking at the same old faces
She never meant for everything to end this way

She's been kicking over stones to find the way home
But there's nothing there she's never seen before
Life slips by so easily
You're just a ring within the tree
That you must climb
To make your way
To where you want to be

groovy
It has a nice late 1960's feel to it but also sounds fresh. Everything sounds professional, from performance to mix. Nice job.
aclarke said 1427 days ago
Along the same lines
There is something familiar about this and new at the
same time.

Well written and performed. Great sounding tune.
Jim Bouchard said 1427 days ago
interesting
Seems like a lot of compression on the drums and a sort
of top-heavy overall EQ, but brilliant singing. The little
electric break was nice surprise.

Really good song
I think you've nailed the vibe you were after perfectly.
If I were nitpicking, I'd have 8 less bars of guitar solo
in there. It's a top tune, made me happy.
Antony said 1427 days ago
Wow
Reminds me of `Boy With The Arab Strap` era Belle and
Sebastian. And what a fantastic band they were then (and
are again now)
Well done on this -you`ve pretty much nailed the sound
perfectly. Great tune, well performed - practice it hard
all spring in time for the summer, eh.
This one I`ll add to my favorites.

Like that sound
Nice voice.
Like the guitar arpeggios
I like those high voicings:)
Harmonies blend well.
Lyrics seem to fit in well
The drums seem real:) Maybe they are:)
The tune gets even more interesting toward the end.
Really. i hear some nice Allman Brothers stuff in there
Especially towards the end (not quite at the end.
packosmokes said 1426 days ago
Great track
Can't really come up with much to say as I wish I could.
But I really enjoyed this one. Great upbeat tempo, maked
me want to hop in the car, put the top down and cruise!

Extra kudos to your vocal sound, quite unique and makes
the song stand out in originality.

Faved and Downloaded.
Pie said 1426 days ago
summer song indeed
cool tune... hints of 'ian brodie' and 'The La's' - cool
TobinMueller said 1426 days ago
Great on a gloomy day like today
Solid retro style 60s rock, reminds me of the Monkeys era,
with all the fun and lightness and solid writing. A breath
of summer on a cold a gloomy day. Thanks.

beachhead of youth and memories
really great tune, full of sunshine. to my ear (i can only hear out of one, the other isn't there) it seemed too compressed, everything crushed around the mids, and i really like your voice and would like it louder, more like a pop music mix. in fact, this is a great pop tune and maybe should go into that genre. tight, professional, perfect playing. left me thinking about the beach!

Head's boppin side to side
Fun, light tune. Yea, this is a drive with the top down
track. Well produced. Has that thin early 60's mix which
fits this well. Love the vocals and then that guitar riff,
quite fitting. Herman Hermits meets
Blue Oyster Cult. Nice job.....still bopping!
nyakki said 1424 days ago
Nice
I liked the song. I wanted the voice brought out more.
Nice guitar solo in the middle. Downloaded.
Nolan said 1424 days ago
A new favourite MacJammer!
I love your work, mate. Great sound; great voice; great
recording. This is the sort of thing I look for when I listen
to MacJams songs. I don't download many (because it
takes about half an hour on my connection) but I'm
downloading this! Only change I would make: a bit less
intro.
Truth42 said 1424 days ago
This is great
This has a really Kirsty MaColl feel to it. Like 'Walking
Down Madison'. A really excellent song with great
musicianship and harmonies. Great stuff!
TennesseeVic said 1424 days ago
A bit overcompressed?
If you're just trying to make it REAL LOUD, please don't...

Good song, bad production.
eDrew said 1413 days ago
Another Gem
Very nice. I usually stay in the Electronic Genres but I was
so impressed by "Song For Trish And Tilly" I had to come
over here and see what else you've cooked up. I'm very
glad I did. Your music moves me...
SlimGirlFat said 1379 days ago

Excellent summer track for the car..
I agree with Truth42, very similar style to Kirsty McColl..


Cool

interesting production and eq!
I didn't have a problem with the compressed drums. This song sounds very much like a band called the "Happy Mondays"

well done!

gem.

Joe Brady said 677 days ago
Just found this!
awesome; love the writing, you know the promise of summer falls short at the end and seems everyone but you has let go. Very nice. The music was perfect.

Great song here -
Just heard this on the new Home Page Radio - very cool new feature. Love this tune - and the Allman's style lead really took me by surprise. Excellent work!
